Bandwidth Manager 2013

When you export your rules to a XML file (in version 2.x), groups, quotas and other entities are exported too. You can open this file in any text editor to make sure they are present.

After you have version 3.x installed, you import that file and everything, including groups takes its place. Simply click the drop-down list when importing and choose V2 XML file rather than DB file (as shown on the screen shot in the begining of this thread).

I'm currently using BWM Lite 2.9.10 which I paid $35 in 2008. I have around 50 rules configured.

In regard to the upgrade offer email I received at the end of April (partial copy below):
The "Purchasing information" on your web site it appears that the Lite version is now free and will only allow 5 rules. The Standard version is $49 and will allow 500 rules.

- does this mean that if I upgrade my Lite version I will be limited to 5 rules ?

thanks & regards, Phil

Dear Customer,

You have received this e-mail because you have purchased the SoftPerfect Bandwidth Manager software sometime between 2004 and 2009. These are the details we have on record:

I have a problem to redirect port 3128. I follow the bwm's instruction, how to make port mapping but its no work..:S i try to restart computer, uninstall - install bwm, still not work. My bwm ver 3.03. Could you help me?
Thanks, Whendi

i still got a problem. i turn off windows firewall, i installed new bwm. It's not solved.
I have a question, when i go to -add a rule, -Advanced page, -and mapping, there is a "port" option. what is the meaning of this port? what should i do, leave it default (any) or specific?
I so confused, Your tutorial not mention this port.
whendi.

For example, if the rule catches all connections from a user, it only makes sense to redirect port 80 to Squid. Attempting to redirect any other traffic to it may result in an unpredictable result as Squid does not know what to do with it.

I need to see your entire ruleset, please save it to a DB file and post here (or a link to it).

Hi Andrew
congratulations for getting BWM back to life again.. after long time waiting..
I'm using Kerio control (Linux build), they suppressed windows versions starting from v8.xx
I use it as VMware image and I need to know how to get BWM work with new kerio ?

what I need to know, can I make another VMware windows image and install BWM on it, and use BWM Bridging feature ???
does this method make bandwidth manager work as expected?
and most of all.. does PORT mapping will work at this scenario ?

I want to use port mapping to redirect port 80 to a welcome page
what I need to do is like this:
Kerio control (Linux machine) as a gateway -------> BWM bridged (windows machine) ----> clients

**
I remember there was a bug at old BWM versions that cause bridging get lost after system restart.. or when u specify a network interface in rules , didn't get saved and back to "Any interfaces" ..
Does this issue get fixed in BWM v3.xx ????

I am not sure if bridging would work in a virtual machine, since it depends on whether the promiscuous mode is available and how the virtual networking is implemented. Grab a trial version and try it out. The bug with disappearing bridges is now fixed
